Remembering Alex and Ian 8

As another birthday heads around for Alex and Ian, our sons who were born and died on this day in 2007, I yet again have to shift my wondering about how their lives might have been. Eight seems so old for these boys that we only ever held and gazed upon as tiny babies. Eight long years without them. As always we miss them and wish they were here to celebrate with us.

Instead we will eat cake in their memory. (More on that soon) And I share a few links I have come across over the past year that relate to stillbirth and loss:

Angel Gowns - an organisation where people donate old wedding dresses to be used to make outfits for stillborn babies.

Thinking of you and your family today, Johanna xxxWhen my kids were younger, we always had a birthday cake for their cousin (my sister's son) who died before they were born. Coincidentally, it's the anniversary of his death tomorrow.

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
